Rays third baseman Wander Franco (hamstring) is expected to require a stint on the 10-day injured list. On Friday, manager Kevin Cash said, "I don’t see a situation where he avoids the IL. Highly likely that will happen. Hope we caught it early enough though.” (Tricia Whitaker on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Franco exited Friday's game against the Tigers after experiencing right hamstring tightness on the basepaths. The former No. 1 overall prospect has garnered plenty of hype since his debut, slashing .285/.347/.463 with seven homers, 36 RBI, 22 walks, and 35 strikeouts over the course of 62 games. The 20-year-old extended his on-base streak to 39 games before exiting on Friday.
